Closing Statement from NDACT Board Member, Dave Vander Zaag

I close with a final quote from Franklin Roosevelt back in 1937: “The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.” Those wise words are more valid today than ever. Thank you for your time and attention.

Thank you to the NDACT Members, Leo Blydorp from Dufferin Federation of Agriculture (who is also an NDACT Member) and all the speakers for taking the time to make a presentation and express your views about the Aggregate Resources Act.
